LENS HOLDER SUPPLY MECHANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lens holder supply mechanism capable of smoothing separation and supply of lens holders. SOLUTION: A holder discharge mechanism 38 for discharging the lens holders in sequence while separating them one by one is provided under the terminal of a chute 30 for sliding the lens holders 2 with their dead weights. The holder discharge mechanism 38 has an air cylinder 39 and a locking pin 41 connected to the air cylinder 39 via a link mechanism 40. The locking pin 41 is usually inserted upward in the first lend holder 2A whereby the holder is locked to the terminal of the chute 30. It is released from the first lens holder 2A by the rotation to the holder discharging direction with the rotation of the link mechanism 40 during discharging the holder and it is separated from the first lens holder 2A by pushing the holder back with the insertion in the second lens holder 2B during resetting.
